Lapse August 1994 Information 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Another month has passed, and Lapse is chugging along at a respectable pace. As always, a few members have been gained and lost. We were sorry to see Hellspawn and his expert ansi-drawing skills leave us; he is now a member of Tribe. Good Luck, Hellspawn! One of the members we acquired this month is T/퀲, and he'll be helping us out in the ansi department. As you will notice, he is very productive, and has improved drastically just in the past month. You should expect great things from him in the future. The viewer is faster and smoother than ever this month. The Red Flame implemented hardware scrolling into it, and also added virus protection. As before, LapseView views ANSI in all screen modes up to 1024x768 with VESA, and also views AGSE, The Red Flame's own graphic standard. AGSE emulates real graphics with binary codes, much like ANSI, providing for extremely fast, hi-resolution terminal emulation. Unfortunately, our VGA department was weak this month, and you won't get to see much AGSE. Look out for it in the future. Any way, there is some quality artwork in the pack from our artists, and Insanitor continues to pump out nice tunes in .S3M format. Word has it that The Red Flame's next big addition to LapseView will be music-playing capabilities, but until then, I recommend PSI's Scream Tracker 3.01� to listen to Insanitor's and Game's music. One thing that needs to be clarified: Lapse is NOT accepting any more sites inside the continental-USA. Until further notice, we'll be sticking with the sites and HQ's we have now. We ARE, however, looking for talented, productive artists and musicians, so feel free to apply via our application generator. Things to look for in the near future of Lapse: First, a literature department. We will probably be releasing separate bi-monthly lit packs hopefully starting with September. Also, we have considered creating a small group of coders who will be coding PPE's for PCBoard BBS Software. Expect the final word on that next month. Ansi's using ExtendedColor a.k.a iCEColor will most likely be in the next pack.. Until next month... Delirium Tremens Lapse Founder/Ansi Art Coordinator ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, as Delirium Tremens said.. we're sorry to see HellSpawn leave.. even for Tribe.. heh.. Anyway, we picked up T/퀲 and DeathWish.. both very talented artists.. this month Phaser-X actually did something.. heh.. two logo's is all.. but still.. Also, since I'm mostly in charge of sites.. I'd like to re-emphasize that we are *not* taking anymore sites in the Continental US.. Meaning, if you're not in another country.. or in Hawaii or Alaska.. don't fucking bother.. heh. Not to mention, we hardly have any couriers.. (one.. and that's all) so, most of the distribution will be done through internet.. which is ten thousands times more effective in my opinion.. =) Anyway, it's just been another one of those hectic months.. I did weed out the site list to all of my ability.. if you were taken from the site list the reasons are either.. a) You're position/hq was not needed.. and only cluttered up the site lists b) I have not heard from you for quite some time If you've got a problem, or need to contact me.. I'm usually on irc in #ansi or #lapse.. or you can mail me at tkiller@xmission.com or even call my board Deadly Intoxication (801)553-8644.. This pack, I included the slime-net pack (Lapse's official net) so that anyone who wishes to apply can fill out the application generator.. any questions, comments, or requests can be sent to the address above.. Time Killer Lapse Relations/Organization Coordinator ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, we continue to go at it.. This month, we've improved the viewer, or more precisely, The Red Flame has improved the viewer.. We have a lot of new ANSI's, and a few new tunes.. Unfortunatly, our VGA department was weak this month, but you've already heard all that.. Since I'm mainly involved with the music, I'll concentrate on that. Insanitor takes the work prize this month.. He has been working his butt off composing, and is improving with every song. The Red Flame has shown us that he's multi-talented with coming up with a great .s3m for the pack. DOOM.S3M... Check it out, it's really good. And I managed to scrounge up one .s3m... I was really rushed with work this month, so I was unable to do _too_ much... My .s3m is kind of a departure from the stuff I usually do. But anyways. I'd really like to thank DT, TRF and TK for keeping up coordination effort with the pack. And Tae, for giving us a boost in the ANSI department.. As far as other groups go, and the only greet I make this month, is to Wapatti.. One of the coolest guys in the scene.. I hope you make Trip big. Anyways, I'm going to really try and get our music department the best in the scene.. (If it isn't already). Hopefully, sometime next month, I'll be putting together a music disk. So look for it, under the Lapse label. Until next month... :game:�:lapse: Music Coordinator SAUCE00Lapse 8/94 Info Seniors Lapse 19940807�P
